I thoroughly enjoyed the first part of the book, when we meet Leila and read through her and her friends' stories. They are so tragic and so touching at the same time.
It was also very interesting that Istambul was the backdrop of this book. All these characters ended up living in a city that also kind of despised them.
However, the second part of the book was less captivating and sometimes a bit too funny and shallow in contrast with the rest of the book.
Still, I must say that I was sad the book ended as it was such a delightful read.

This is a very emotional story, with Leila going through a lot on her childhood and a lot as an adult. Through the story, we learn about her closest friends she met along the way and all the characters felt so real and so complex.
Spoiler:
Overall, I really loved this story, it was very emotional at times and I felt for Leila at every point. Beautiful story ❤️
